REGION: Man who led CHP on high-speed, I-15 chase arrested

A man who allegedly stole a car in Pauma Valley led California
Highway Patrol officers on a high-speed chase on Interstate 15,
including a short stretch going the wrong way against freeway
traffic, authorities said.

The suspect, whose name was not immediately available, was
arrested at gunpoint near an apartment complex just west of I-15
near Carroll Canyon Road at about 5:15 p.m., said CHP Officer Chris
Parent.

Driving a small, silver car in excess of 100 mph, the driver was
chased by several Highway Patrol cars south on I-15 from State
Route 76 until he suddenly exited the freeway near Miramar Marine
Corps Air Station and then re-entered the freeway heading north on
the southbound lanes.

After a short pursuit on streets near Carroll Canyon Road, the
suspect left the vehicle near an apartment complex where officers
arrested him, Parent said.
